For #FossilFriday, a thread on the new paper I published yesterday with Darren Naish and Liz Martin-Silverstone, on the flight capabilities of hatchling pterosaurs. You may have seen this in the news already. Our PR #paleoart is below, & the full paper is at Scientific Reports: nature.com/articles/s4159…

If you hosted your own Crash Course series, what would it be about? 🤔

✨ TOMORROW! ✨ Will you be tuning in for our #NationalFossilDay livestream? The Eons team will compete against some of our friends from SciShow in a game of Fossil Feud! (Think Family Feud, but... paleontology). We can't wait!

Take a quick minute to catch up on a few million years of leaf evolution with Eons. We love seeing some familiar names and faces helping spread the love of science far and wide! 👏👏👏 Michelle Barboza-Ramirez (they/them) + Jerald Pinson, PhD 😊 youtube.com/watch?v=y_c1mF…
